Instructions

1. 1

   Brown the ground beef in a hot dry skillet, breaking it up. Do not stir too often — let it crust.

2. 2

   Drain excess fat, add diced onion and cook 3 minutes until soft.

3. 3

   Sprinkle taco seasoning and 1/3 cup water. Simmer 5 minutes until the sauce clings to the meat.

4. 4

   Char the tortillas directly over a flame or in a dry pan for 20 seconds per side, then wrap in a towel to steam soft.

5. 5

   Build: beef first, then cheese (so it melts), then lettuce, tomato, salsa and raw onion.

6. 6

   Top with cilantro, jalapeño and an aggressive squeeze of lime. Serve two at a time, taco-shop style.
